Countryside vs Ski Resort
Two ways to run a company offsite, side by side — group size, budget, where each concentrates, and the estates worth booking.

Gleneagles
A storied Scottish estate on 850 acres of glen — a grand hotel with its own railway stop, falconry school, shooting school, and three championship golf courses.
Borgo Egnazia
A resort built as a Puglian village of whitewashed courtyards, 182 rooms across La Corte, the Borgo and standalone houses, with 11 meeting rooms handling groups to 500. Site of the 2024 G7 summit, with a championship golf course, spa and Puglian countryside all around.
Pinehurst Resort
The cradle of American golf — ten courses in the Carolina pines, a grand village resort, and the home of multiple U.S. Opens.
Fairmont Chateau Whistler
A grand chateau at the base of Blackcomb Mountain with more than 32,000 sq ft of meeting space across 12 function rooms and capacity for 10 to 1,500 attendees. Ski-in/ski-out to Whistler Blackcomb, an 11,000+ sq ft divisible ballroom, and a large room count make it one of the few true large-scale corporate ski venues in North America.
Viceroy Snowmass
Ski-in/ski-out at the base of Snowmass with 22,000 sq ft of event space across six buildings and a Grand Ballroom that seats up to 400. It delivers the Aspen-area cachet without the single-lodge size cap — a true ski-resort buyout-grade basecamp that runs winter slope days or summer alpine programs equally well.
Montage Deer Valley
A large mountain resort at the top of Empire Pass with more than 60,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor meeting space and two ballrooms, so a company can host several hundred people and still ski-in/ski-out to Deer Valley. Guest rooms, suites, and residences flex a program from a leadership offsite to a full-company kickoff.
